Muslims from Indonesia to Detroit need to see the fraud under which they are living for what it is. They need to be converted in heart, not just in fear.

I'll agree with you on that.

Our enemy is not a nation. It is a religion.

And as a nation who acknowledges the right of people to follow their own conscious, we have ZERO authority to deny that right to anyone else.

The Constitution protects religion, and nowhere is the legitimate authority given to declare war on an ideology, no matter how abhorrent we believe that ideology to be. The only authority granted is to declare war on another nation.

The Constitution outlines Declarations of War. They are not Resolutions, they are not Proclamations....they are Declarations.

It is a legal term with a legal meaning and legal procedures to go with it.

Not to mention the rather commonsensical problem that by declaring war on a religion, you in essence cripple your own ability to win simply because you can't tell who the 'enemy' is just by looking.

It's a little late after-the-fact, ya know. Particularly when lying to non believers IS part of their religion.

I'm not trying to be rude or anything. I just want people to take a step back and take a long hard look at exactly what this 'war' is costing.
